NgoMashi 27, yonke imigwaqo yayibheke eMombasa, Kenya, emhlanganweni webhizinisi ohlanganyelwe obuhlelwe yi-Uganda neKenya kanye noMongameli ababili bamazwe womabili babekhona ngempela. Umhlangano ubuhlanganise ongqongqoshe, osomabhizinisi ababalulekile bamazwe womabili ukuzodingida izihloko ezithakaselwana ngokukhula. Mina ngokwami ngaba manqikanqika ukuya ngoba umkami nendodakazi babehamba ngesonto elilodwa futhi babengafuni bahambe ngingabavalelisanga.
Nami angiyithandi imihlangano lapho abantu bekhuluma futhi bengaqhamuki nezixazululo zangempela zezinkinga ezikhona. Ngathatha uhambo kuphela ngemva kokuba umndeni wami ubusise. Ngithathe indiza yasekuseni nge-Kenya Airways ukuze ngijoyine abangani ababili baseKenya (uShivam Vanayak nonkosikazi) abaphuma eNairobi baya eMombasa futhi ngiyabonga, bakwazile ukuthola amathikithi amathathu esitimeleni saseMadaraka. Ukuthola izihlalo esitimeleni esisuka eNairobi siya eMombasa kuwumsebenzi onzima ngenxa yokugcwala kwezimoto.
Ngangiye kaningi eNairobi ngenhloso yokuthola izihlalo kodwa ngahluleka ngenxa yesidingo. Isigaba sebhizinisi sibi kakhulu ngoba amathikithi abhukhwa kuqala kusenesikhathi.
